There's something rather poignant about this, both funny and sad.
The world could choose any "negative" aspect of the modern South African situation to complain about and to try to develop nifty hacks for suppressing; like crime, violence, poverty, the brain drain, etc etc.
But the one that's getting all the attention is that "annoying buzz on the world's TV sets."
Re the downvotes -- I guess this really just goes to show again that either (a) people really fundamentally care more about a 235Hz buzz on their TVs during soccer, than they do about real (by comparison) suffering as long as its someone else who's suffering; or (b) people would just far rather apply their brainpower to attenuating (or discussing the attenuation of) vuvuzelas, than to trying to solve actual issues that matter and would be of lasting value.
